Commercials: The Good, The Bad and The Obnoxious!

[Julie Marie]

I hate commercials.  I will go to great lengths to avoid them if possible but sometimes they sneak their way into my living room.

Flo and Progressive Insurance tops my list for the obnoxious.  Those commercials get me to react quickly to do what I can to remove them from my sight.

Topping out the bad I'd have to say Geico gets the nod.  The cavemen? The gecko? C'mon!  Can't they come up with something better?

But the commercial that cracks me up every time (and the only one I won't mute) is Ally Bank with the chubby kid and the red truck.  That kid just makes me laugh.  "It's a piece of junk!  I want the red truck!"  His facial expressions and delivery are priceless!
Ally - "Truck"

What's your good, bad & obnoxious picks?

I totally agree with your choices! I can't stand Geico commercials. A talking gekko is stupid.

Here is another one I hate.  That stupid gnome statue in the Travelocity commercials.

I couldn't find a video, though.

To me when you see really bad irritating commercials like this you can tell the CEO or owner of the company came up with the idea.
